Hello guys, i assume others have the same problem at this moment.
since yesterday Windows 10 keeps instaling the latest amd driver, and it gives the no opengl or cuda hardware installed etc.
using ddu or another clean utility and reinstalling the driver of ur preference (i use 16.9.2) solves the problem, and u mine again, but in less than 1 hour, win 10 autoupdates again.
i have device instalation settings on no under advanced system settings, hardware, device instalation settings. but still do the update.
anyone else is having this problem?
is there any solution?
thanks guys
PS: ive been mining before with no problems until this update. it was yesterday/today that it all started. thanks again

reinstall drivers and then prevent new form installing,
First search "Update History" in your windows search back - click the link for Update History
Then click "Uninstall updates" up at the top and then look for the recent update that ends in "KB3150513" that most likely was recently installed on your system (look at the date), select it and then click "Uninstall" and "Yes".
From there reinstall your AMD drivers (use AMD clean uninstall utility prior to reloading your drivers) and you should be good.
P.S. thanks Windows for being a major PITA - as soon as I have the time I'm going to play with EthOS.
@Techman34 thanks for sharing that method. lol i agree, thats why i selected Windows screwing us as a title haha.
@Sunyata yes, i did the same, but after every try it would install again the new driver. ill try the other methods suggested.
thanks guys
After first time my rig stopped mining due to this auto update I removed AMD drivers using DDU, then reinstalled them. I also disabled windows updates (run - services.msc - stop Windows Update Center service).
It worked fine, but at night it happened again.
I have had similar issues with win10 updates. Group policy edit worked flawlessly for me and my miner has been on stable constant uptime for two weeks now! There's also a way to use the registry to accomplish the same thing - which is to disable auto updates for Windows.
I'm on mobile and falling asleep, if you can't find it on the google, let me know I'll link you to it tomorrow. I have got a tutorial on it saved.
ill try in a few minutes, its a long story involving me not having a monitor right now with hdmi, so i have to coonect via team viewer, and something is happening that it wont connect easily.
my hdmi cable friend one card and my tv monitor, idk what happened trying to fix that .(
thanks again
i have 2 of rx 480 4gb gigabyte g1, and 2 of msi reference rx 480 4gb.
when i check my hardwares id, it has 2 of each (i guess because they are the same model, would have the same id)
so when i paste the id, i should put 2 of each? or only one of each model?
also i put it continued one below the other? or leave one space as if it was a paragraph?
as all guides on google focus on people with only 1 video card not multiple
thanks
EDIT: did a quick Google search and it looks like this has happened in the past before too. Windows update screws AMD display drivers. Here's an interesting article on the patch: infoworld.com/article/3182744/microsoft-windows/mystery-update-kb-3150513-makes-yet-another-reappearance.html
its a start I guess.
EDIT: apparently windows REINSTALLED the update again, after I uninstalled it once... I'm guessing that the new update won't recognize the cards with modified bios..
Edit: What AMD driver version are you using? I believe the 17.X.X drivers won't detect flashed bios so you have to make sure to install 16.11.5(that's what I use).
1. Disabled updates
a. Run gpedit.msc
b. go to /Computer Configuration/Adminstrative Templates/Windows Components/Windows Update
c. Double click on 'Configure Automatic Updates and set to disabled.
2. Now go to control panel and and click on "Programs and Features'
3. Select 'View installed updates'
4. Uninstall 'KB3150513'
5. Run DDU and reboot
6. Install appropriate drivers and reboot
7. If you have a modded bios then install 'AMD/ATI Pixel Clock Patcher'
8. Reboot.
Please note once this issue has been fixed my MS then remember to enabled updates!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Personally I have all updates blocked, if a problem arises, i'll choose how to deal with it, not MS at 2am.
Just my opinion.
